I believe it is the Formatting... Formatting is fundamental to understanding code, code logic, and the "divide and conquer" reasoning behind object oriented design... With proper formatting (including commenting of course) you can easily see syntax errors, logic errors, and of course, nice clean and clear code. Anyone agree? disagree? I'm trying to convince a friend who's new to coding to adhere to strict and proper code formatting when he codes his programs... Currently he's struggling because he takes code formatting to be a very low priority. I'd like some more backup to my theory!
